Overview
Biggin Hill is a business aviation airport with a substantial maintenance presence, and the shrink wrapping here is mostly airframe protection and hangar containment rather than anything on the apron.
It sits just south of Bromley, so it is on a run we already make.
Local focus
Aviation. Airframes wrapped for storage between charters and over longer downtime, components and engines prepared for storage or shipment, and containment around maintenance work in the hangar. There is also a heritage aviation element at Biggin Hill, and older airframes going into long-term preservation need ventilation and desiccant thought about properly rather than simply being sealed up.

Getting to you
On our south London run with Bromley, so no dedicated trip is needed. We agree the method with your engineering team first.
We cover TN16 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across London Biggin Hill Airport, the maintenance hangars, the business aviation terminal and Westerham. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Biggin Hill job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.

Illustrative figures. Your Biggin Hill survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Biggin Hill work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Biggin Hill rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Biggin Hill enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Biggin Hill job needs a site visit to get moving. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what is involved — including when shrink wrap is not the right call.

WhatsApp or email, with the Biggin Hill postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Biggin Hill is part of our regular coverage and aircraft covers is the work we do most of there. On our south London run with Bromley, so no dedicated trip is needed. We agree the method with your engineering team first.
There is no Biggin Hill rate, because the price follows the job rather than the postcode. Size, framing, film grade and access drive it, and travel is set out separately so you can see exactly what you are paying. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will give you a realistic figure the same working day.
Yes, and ventilation matters even more than on a modern aircraft. Sealing an older airframe up tight without designed airflow and desiccant does more harm over a year than open parking would.
Yes. Every quote is fixed after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. We do not use provisional sums and we do not add a "subject to access" line.
All five sectors — marine, scaffolding and temporary roofs, industrial, transportation and aviation. Aviation shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Biggin Hill, but the same crews cover the rest.
Yes. We are fully insured and risk assessments and method statements are supplied as standard on every commercial job, along with film certification at handover.
